sure hope ya'll gettign a couple years free service from IB and VB. I get IT issues (from a corporate user standpoint) but this one is getting a bit protracted.
I've been reading around the web about the experience of other boards who use vBulletin. Sounds like IB doesn't have a great track record of actually improving the software they've acquired; in fact, the more popular versions of vBulletin were several generations ago...
I worry about the affect this drawn-out process is having on the forums here. It seems like there are fewer posts than in the past, and the difficulties with posting, especially pictures, is really hurting the Resto forum. I feel pretty fortunate I finished my restoration before the upgrade. I don't know if I could have handled the frustration of learning to rebuild a boat AND the nonsense needed just to make a simple post.
I know the iboats admins and mods have done great work trying to make things work and to keep the ship righted, and I am very appreciative of their efforts. I just hope vBulletin gets their act together and actually puts out software that works. I'm not sure there's a lot of reason to be hopeful about that, though...
